Why the Beijing Opening Ceremony should have used Linux

This may or may not be real, but if it is real, it’s pretty damn funny. Supposedly a Windows machine used for projections during the Olympics Opening Ceremony crashed during the show, resulting in the hilarious picture above.

Perhaps it would have been worth it to use a more stable OS (*cough*, Linux)?

WARNING: This may very well turn out to be a fake, or then not.
